Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Place one chicken breast between 2 pieces of parchment paper or wax paper and pound it with a meat tenderizer (or the bottom of a heavy skillet) until it is 1/4 inch thick. Repeat with the remaining chicken breasts.
- Combine the basil, Parmesan, garlic and pine nuts in a blender. Pulse for 15 seconds, then with the blender running, stream in the oil. Scrape down the sides of the blender as needed and continue blending until the pesto is pureed. Taste and season the pesto with salt and pepper.
- Spread one-fourth of the pesto on one side of each of the chicken breasts, then top the pesto with 3 slices of mozzarella per chicken breast. Beginning at the shorter end, tightly roll up each chicken breast and secure it with a toothpick. Sprinkle the outsides of the roulades with salt and pepper.
- Heat a large ovenproof skillet over medium heat and add 2 to 3 tablespoons oil. Once the oil is hot, add the roulades and sear them on all sides until they're browned, about 10 minutes.
- Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake the roulades until they are cooked throughout and reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, 5 to 8 minutes.
- Remove the roulades from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes. Remove the toothpicks, then slice and serve.
CHICKEN ROULADE WITH SPINACH FETA CHEESE AND ROASTED RED PEPPER.
I made this for Valentines Dinner and it was a big hit. I saw some of this recipe on a foodnetwork show(not sure which one) I added a pack of Lipton savoury herb and garlic dip mix to the breadcrumbs,to add a little extra flavour, before frying them off, there recipe called for deep frying before roasting, I fried this one off in a little oil in a skillet, before roasting. It worked really well. The chicken came out moist and juicy, and full of flavour.

Steps:
- Trim off any fat and cut part way through the underside of the chicken to flatten it out slightly.
- Put the chicken on top of a piece of cling film, and season each breast with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Then cover with another piece of cling film and pound chicken till it flattens out (not too much it is easy to overdo this) and the seasoning is embedded in the meat.
- Take each breast and layer it with the spinach leaves first then the feta and the red pepper.
- Fold in the sides of each breast and roll up and secure with tooth picks.
- Cover with cling film and chill for at least 2 hours.
- Preheat oven to 325°F .
- In a large dish big enough to dip the chicken in beat the eggs.
- Next to the eggs, use another dish about the same size and combine bread crumbs and garlic dip mix.
- Put the oil in a skillet and allow to get hot.
- While the oil is heating, take the chicken and first dip into the egg till coated and then into the bread crumbs, making sure all surfaces are covered.
- When the oil is hot add the chicken to the skillet, one at a time, and turn using tongs, when each side has become lightly browned. Then place on a baking sheet. Repeat with each breast.
- When all the chicken has been browned, place baking sheet, and roast for about 25 minutes or till the internal temperature is 170°F or juices run clear.
- Enjoy.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Cut off the top of the head of garlic to expose the cloves, trimming about 1/4 inch off of the top of each clove. You may need to trim individual cloves along the sides of the head. Brush the cut cloves with a small amount of olive oil and nestle the head into a piece of aluminum foil.
- Bake in the preheated oven until cloves begin to soften, about 20 minutes. Remove garlic from the oven and let cool slightly. Leave oven on. Press on the bottom of each clove to push softened cloves out of their peels and into a small bowl.
- Process basil in the bowl of a food processor until minced. Add roasted garlic and Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese; pulse a couple of times to mix together. Pour olive oil in slowly, with the processor running, until pesto is smooth and has achieved your desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper.
- Slide your fingers under the skin of the chicken to loosen it. Rub pesto generously underneath the skin and inside the cavity of the chicken. Place chicken on a rack inside a baking pan.
- Place chicken in the oven and cook for 30 to 40 minutes. Increase heat to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C) and cook until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, 10 to 15 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone, should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove from the oven, cover with a doubled sheet of aluminum foil, and allow to rest in a warm area for 10 minutes before slicing.
